Images not indexed by Google

    Hello,

    I’ve been noticing lately that Google is not indexing my images, even though they should be included in our sitemaps. Could you check quickly if there are any problems in my sitemap? I have tried couple of image URLs on Google Search Console and when testing the image URL the Discovery part says N/A for sitemap and None detected for referring page.

    This is our sitemap:

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    I have checked your sitemap and images are already included in your sitemap.

    There could be a number of reasons why Google has decided not to index those images and include them in the image search.

    1. You are not using original images.

    2. Your post is relatively new and it will take Google time.

    Since that post is indexed already, Google is already seeing those images so there is no question of Google not seeing the images. It is just a matter of Google choosing not to rank or include the images in their search results.

    I hope this helps. Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you for the reply. Is there any particular reason why Google Search Console is saying that the images are not included in the sitemap? It says on Discovery N/A on the sitemap part. Pages and posts on the other hand are like they should be.

    Hello,

    The images are usually not added as individual URLs to your GSC.

    You can however check if your images are indexed by searching the attached post/page on Google then check under images. Here is an example of your main URL: https://i.rankmath.com/Zq6Yn6

    Hope this helps you. Thanks
